studying Archaeology at NUI Galway

The Department of Archaeology in NUI Galway is to the forefront of Irish archaeology producing quality graduates and postgraduates employed across the full spectrum of the heritage profession in Ireland and abroad. No previous knowledge is required to take the subject. The First Year course involves four lectures per week and some tutorials and is a general introduction to the subject covering important aspects of both Irish and European archaeology as well as exploring the practice of archaeology. First Arts students choose four subjects from a series of subject groupings and then specialise in two of their chosen subjects in the second and third years of their undergraduate programme. While there are logical subject combinations (e.g. archaeology-history; archaeology-geography), you may be assured that whatever combination of subjects you choose to study, a BA Degree will provide you with interpretative, analytical and communication skills of particular value in a wide range of career paths.

Some students, particularly those returning to education, choose to undertake a Diploma in Archaeology rather than a BA degree and diploma courses are run by NUI Galway at a number of different locations in the west of Ireland.
